What happens when you mash Kirk, Spock and McCoy doing the Carlton dance over music of your choice? In my opinion, more awesome than should be allowed. Or, maybe, I’m just easily amused. That will be for you to decide. One day, I had the above GIF opened because I was in a right foul…… Continue

There are times throughout your week where you come across something online and think to yourself, “So… this is a thing that actually exists.” I need your help curating such things for a new series called So… This Is A Thing.… Continue

When Canadian headlines captivate the world, they normally involve moose, sharks, beavers, or maple syrup. And then, there’s Rob Ford. Not only does he admit to smoking crack, but he also makes comments about his oral sex life that just beg for being included in late night talk show hosts punchlines. And, then there is the Canadian way of poking fun at our own headline news. CBC’s 22 Minutes has been dedicating a lot of time to Rob Ford. This week, 22 Minutes presented this hilarious parody of “The Fox,” titled, “What Does Rob Ford Say?”… Continue

I haven’t done Geek of the Week (the thing I geeked out over the most this week) in forever. I wasn’t planning on doing a Geek of the Week this week, but then last night’s episode of The Big Bang Theory happened.… Continue

Behold! One of the most amazing drumlines you will ever see: Top Secret Drum Corps, based in Basel, Switzerland. Just watch the above video, and you should know what I mean. Apparently, these guys are very well-known. At least, in the United Kingdom and Europe they are very well-known, having made multiple appearances in Royal Edinburgh Military…… Continue

I know it has been weeks since the last time I’ve done a Geek of the Week. If you’ve been following my adventures in other places, you know I have reasons. I’ve been meaning to make the following video Geek of the Week since the beginning of January when it was first brought to my attention…… Continue

This week’s Geek of the Week is TWO Star Trek videos. The first video is every time Spock called Kirk, “Jim.” The second video is every time McCoy said, “He’s dead, Jim!” I’m not sure more needs to be said, except for a h/t after the videos. h/t to John DeNardo over at SF Signal. While I…… Continue

This week’s Geek Of The Week is for the three people left on the Internet who have yet to see it.* It is a video with three anamorphic illusions, and it is really something. Watching the video makes me wish I was back in university studying psychology. *The video first came to my attention when…… Continue

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my friend Dan Freeman (@SageofTheWaves) — writer/producer/director of The Minister Of Chance — wearing a tiger-striped footed onesie, complete with hoodie, while playing the banjo… like one does. And this is why he’s my friend! Well, it isn’t the only reason but it helps. How can you not…… Continue

After a very long hiatus, Geek of the Week is back! This week’s Geek of the Week isn’t the usual fare. It isn’t the normal “This is what really caused me to have a geekasm this week.” It is more of a “This geek inspired thing really amused me.” This week’s Geek of the Week…… Continue

Some of Geeky Pleasures’ readers may be aware that this week has been one filled with really high highs and really low lows. Thankfully, it has ended with a high high, thanks to the release of The Minister Of Chance: Episode 3 – Paludin Fields, in which, not only has a character been named after me,…… Continue

Again, this week’s Geek of the Week should be of no surprise. On Wednesday, July 11, 2012, I went to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and had an AMAZING 6-hour tour, organised by my pal, and NASA astrophysicist, Dave Batchelor (@davidabatchelor) — the dude who wrote The Science Of Star Trek, among other things. Aside…… Continue

Yesterday, I went on a date to see the space shuttle Discovery at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. It was a very emotional experience. It should be obvious why this date is this week’s Geek Of The Week. Cos, yeah… a date to see a SPACE SHUTTLE THAT WAS ACTUALLY IN…… Continue

The amazeballs of this week’s Geek of the Week will speak for itself, both for guffaw factor and video fabuliciousness. And if you haven’t yet, you should listen to my epic long conversation with Paul and Storm. Don’t forget to purchase the song on iTunes. Have a great weekend!… Continue

This week’s Geek of the Week is not Star Trek related! Surprise! Surprise! Regular listeners of my Geeky Pleasures Radio Show on The Look 24/7 (@TheLook247) will understand why this video is the thing I geeked out over the most this week. For those of you who do not listen to my radio show, let me…… Continue

This week’s Geek of the Week caused me to squee for a number of reasons. In no particular order, these reasons are: It is Star Trek related. It is science related. I’m pals with David Allen Batchelor (@davidabatchelor), the guy who wrote the NASA article the following is based upon. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to…… Continue
